Loading & Unloading

Your Sure Chef Combi-Steamer includes a Mobile Oven Rack that is integral to the unit’s operation. All food product is loaded onto the oven rack which is then loaded into the cooking cabinet.

• Floor Models–CSB/M/L-20 and 40, and CSG-20, use Mobile Oven Racks designed to roll directly into cabinets. Door closes and seals around Mobile Oven Rack.

• Counter Models–CSB/M/L-6, 10 and 1020, and CSG-10 and 12 utilize Transport Carts upon which Mobile Oven Racks may be placed. The Transport Cart is rolled up to the unit, and the Mobile Oven Rack rolls directly into the cabinet.

IMPORTANT: During the loading and unloading process for counter models, lock front casters of Transport Cart when car t is stationary. Lock front wheels on Mobile Oven Rack with locking lever near right front wheel. Unlock wheels of Mobile Oven Rack ONLY when rolling in or out of unit. This will keep Mobile Oven Rack stable on Transport Cart.

Full Loads

To Load

• Place food product on appropriate grids, pans and racks. Load onto Mobile Oven Rack.

• Preheat unit to desired temperature.

•Open door slightly until fan stops and heat dissipates. Open door fully with care.

• (Floor models) Roll loaded Mobile Oven Rack directly into unit. (Counter models) Roll loaded Mobile Oven Rack on Transport Cart up to unit. Lock front casters on Transport Cart to prevent movement. Release wheel lock on Mobile Oven Transport Cart and roll into unit.

• Shut door and begin cooking.

To Unload

• Signal will sound when cooking cycle is complete

• Open door slightly until fan stops and heat dissipates. Open door fully with care.

• (Floor models) Roll Mobile Oven Rack straight out of unit and to appropriate location. (Counter models) Roll Transport Cart up to unit, lock front casters on Transport Cart and roll Mobile Oven Rack out of unit and onto Transport Cart. Lock front wheel of Mobile Oven Rack. Release locked front caster on Transport Cart and roll away from unit to appropriate location.

Partial Loads

Individual pans or racks of product can be easily loaded or unloaded while the unit is in operation.

•Open door slightly until fan stops and heat dissipates. Open door fully with care.

• Load or unload pans or racks directly to or from Mobile Oven Rack in unit. It is not necessary to remove Mobile Oven Rack.

• Shut door. Cooking process continues automatically.

Tips

• No flavor transfer occurs during cooking, so consider load by the type of cooking mode (Steam, Convection, Combination) being used.

•When cooking for longer periods, or on Continous cooking, load items that will be done sooner toward the front of the rack. These can be removed individually when done.

• For greatest efficiency, try to cook with full loads. In general, cooking times and temperatures are not affected by the quantity of product in the cooking cabinet.

•When loading roasts, or large cuts of meat, place product directly on racks and load near the bottom of the Mobile Oven Rack. Load an empty pan directly beneath roast to catch drippings and roast bones.

• For counter models, consider ordering Combi-Steamer Base Units. Several styles are available that include enclosed pan storage for convenient access to pans, grids and racks.

Opening Door During Operation

Open door slightly to allow hot steam and/or vapors to escape. KEEP FACE AND HANDS AWAY FROM OPENING or burns could result. When steam and/or heat has dissipated open door fully with care. Escaping hot steam and/or vapors can cause serious burns. Interior surfaces extremely hot, including pans, grids and oven racks. To prevent burns, allow unit to cool, or use appropriate heat resistant protective mitt or pad when handling.

Steam mode–for moist heat

The steam generator produces hygienic steam and releases it pressureless into the cooking cabinet where it is is circulated at high speeds by the fan. The unit’s control system allows only as much steam into the cabinet as the food is able to absorb. The cooking temperature in this mode can be regulated from 86°F (30°C) to 265°F (130°C) to accomplish Tender Steaming as well as normal steaming.

Convection mode–for dry heat

Powerful heating elements heat the air inside the cabinet. The fan circulates this hot, dry air evenly throughout the interior. Temperature can be regulated precisely between 86°F (30°C) to 575°F (300°C)

• Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions and SDHC.

A powerful heat exchanger heats air through an indirect process–exhaust fumes cannot enter the cooking cabinet. The fan circulates this hot, dry air evenly throughout the interior. Temperature can be regulated precisely between 86°F (30°C) to 575°F (300°C).

Cooking Modes

Combination mode–for variable temperature moist heat

The unit’s control system combines both Steam and Convection modes to create a humid cooking environment at temperatures higher or lower than 212°F (100°C). Temperatures can be selected from 86°F (30°C) to 575°F (300°). Cooking environment remains at optimal humidity to prevent food from dr ying out.

• Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions and SDHC.

• Rethermalizing is accomplished in this mode at 60% SDHC or less.

• Cooking Modes can be used individually, in sequence or in any combination to achieve desired results.

• Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions and SDHC.

Tender Steaming mode–for low temperature moist heat

In this mode, an automatic sensor keeps the pre-selected temperature constant within a moist cooking environment. Temperatures can be selected from 86°F (30°C) to 210°F (99°C). Temperature may vary +/- 3

⁄2°F ( 1°C)

Combination mode–for high temperature moist heat

The unit’s control system combines both Steam and Convection modes to create a humid cooking environment at temperatures higher than 212°F (100°C). Temperatures can be selected from 140°F (60°C) to 575°F (300°C). Cooking environment retains 100% humidity to prevent food from dr ying out.

Rethermalizing mode–for optimum reheating

This is a specialized mode that combines moist and dry heat to create the ideal environment for reheating previously cooked foods. Rethermalizing restores the look, taste and temperature of food without drying or water marks. Temperatures can be selected from 86°F (30°C) to 575°F (300°C).

• Cooking environment can be manipulated extensively with additional functions and SDHC.

• Humidity is limited to a maximum of 60%.

• Cooking Modes can be used individually, in sequence or in any combination to achieve desired results.

Tips

• Determine which foods can be cooked together for the greatest efficiency. This is best done by considering the cooking modes and temperatures. Keep in mind that fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, etc can be cooked at the same time because there is no flavor transfer.

• Potatoes should always be cooked in perforated pans. This allows steam to circulate for faster, more even cooking.

• In general, two shallower pans are better than one deeper pan. This avoids bruising.

• Dumplings should be placed in shallow pans not too close together.

• Rice is the only type of food to which water must be added prior to cooking. Longer soaking times mean shorter cooking times.

•Tomatoes can be skinned easily when steamed for 30 to 60 seconds, then chilled in cold water.

• Stock can be collected by inserting a container in the bottom of the mobile oven rack.

Tips

Cooking times

Proper cooking times will vary depending on the quality, weight or size of the product. Generally, cooking time is not affected by the size of the load. However, avoid overloading grids or pans so air will circulate evenly around product.

Roasting, broiling

• Always preheat unit at 575°F (300°C), then set to desired temperature.

• For steaks, chops, cutlets, or loin cuts, 1/2” to 1” thickness is ideal.

• Cook on grids with drip pans below. This allows even browning on sides and bottom.

• Try to place similar sized product on same grids.

Browning, finishing

Preheat to 575°F (300°C), or until light goes out. After loading, set to desired temperature.

Fish

Do not cover with flour. For whole fish, wrap tail in foil and support it from underneath with raw potatoes.

Cook in previously unheated enameled pans.

Baking

• Preheat to baking temperature. In general, Combi-Steamer baking temperatures will be 70°F to 80°F (20°C to 25°C) LOWER than traditional ovens.

•When baking bread and rolls, use only every second rack. Baking trays should not be higher than 2 3/4” (7.0 cm).

• When baking frozen prepared food items, preheat to 575°F (300°C), do not defrost. Then set to desired baking temperature, load and begin.

• Defrost frozen bread dough and let rise for a short time before baking.

• When baking full loads of “wet” product (frozen or dough), remove built-up humidity with SDHC* or open door briefly.
